A pseudo-volunteer was exposed in Dnipropetrovs'k region who appropriated money that she allegedly collected for the needs of the Defense Forces. This was reported by UNN with reference to a statement by the Prosecutor General's Office.
Details
According to the investigation, the suspect, an administrator of a well-known Telegram channel in Nikopol, repeatedly organized fundraising to allegedly help the Ukrainian military.
To transfer money for military equipment, cars, and quadcopters, the pseudo-volunteer indicated her bank card details. She then appropriated the donations and spent them on her own needs.
Thus, in six months, the suspect received almost UAH 1 million from citizens.
Under the procedural supervision of the Nikopol District Prosecutor's Office, a resident of Kyiv was served a notice of suspicion of illegal use of charitable donations during martial law (Part 3 Art. 201-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine)
Addendum
During the searches at the woman's place of residence, law enforcement officers seized computer equipment, a mobile phone, and cash.
The issue of choosing a measure of restraint against the suspect is currently being decided.
Recall
Two fraudsters were detained in Kyiv who, under the guise of military personnel , seized charitable aidintended for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The suspects embezzled nearly UAH 2 million worth of aid.
